Build your English before you prepare for an exam
Strengthen your listening, speaking, reading and writing, then start IELTS or PTE preparation while you keep practising the skills you need. English Foundation is for anyone who finds exam practice hard and wants a stronger base first — you can use it before and alongside exam preparation. It is in internal alpha, open to invited accounts only.
- Strengthen the underlying English that exam practice assumes.
- Use it before and alongside IELTS or PTE preparation — your progress stays here.
- Start exam practice whenever you like; you don't need to finish every level first.
You’ll be asked to log in if you aren’t already. Access is limited to invited alpha accounts.
The pathway
- Beginner English
- A1
- A2
- B1
- B2
- C1
- C2
“Beginner English” assumes you can read the Latin alphabet; letter sounds and spelling are in an optional area. These are learning stages, not official CEFR certification, and completing them does not certify exam readiness. You never need to finish C2 to start exam preparation.
What’s inside
The skills exams rely on
Listening, speaking, reading and writing built up progressively — the transferable skills IELTS and PTE practice assume, not exam tricks or timing drills.
Teach first, then practise
Every lesson explains, shows a model, gives supported then independent practice, and honest feedback with one next step.
Before and alongside the exam
Start whenever you like, keep your progress, and carry on practising here while you prepare for an exam. You never need to finish to move on.
English Foundation develops general English. It is not affiliated with any examination board, and nothing here is an official language certificate or exam score.
